Author Dr Rajesh M R

Book Name in Malayalam : അഥര്‍വവേദ സംഹിത

Dr. Rajesh contends that the Atharva Veda is really an epitome of specialized knowledge, having material application as well. He lists the most prominent examples of astronomy, vaidyam, the ancient science of health care, otherwise known as ayurveda and metallurgy, among others. This delineation of the marriage of the spiritual and material aspects is a foray into uncharted waters. While conceding that the seeds of most sciences are immanent in the Atharva Veda, one should be sufficiently on guard against cultural recidivism. The inherent danger oft racing all knowledge to a single source is fraught with lapsing into supremacism.
